Description:
This sheet shows plans of two of the four Highland barracks built between 1718 and 1724, Kiliwhimen, near Fort Augustus, and Inversnaid. It also shows a plan for the powder magazine at Edinburgh Castle. The 'Board of Ordnance Register of Plans 1700-1800' lists it as being from John Romer, without a date or a named draughtsman. It is probably dated at 1723, as the next plan in the list and in the series, is a plan of the cistern at Kiliwhimen (at shelfmark MS.1647.Z.03/12a), also from John Romer, and that is dated 1723.
